Hi there, I donnu if I'm right here but I hope so ;) I've got some problems with GNOME mimetypes. Since my last distribution upgrade (I upgraded Ubuntu Gutsy to Ubuntu Hardy [Beta, now using stable]), almost all file associations are broken. For example, JPGs are opened in Firefox, PDFs aren't opened anymore etc. The same problem exists also with another distribution where I compiled GNOME myself. I had hoped that it would be possible to reset the file-associations but I found no way to do this. What I tried myself is:
* deleting >/usr/share/mime/*< (on Ubuntu) and >~/.local/share/mime/*< and then upgrading the mime database; * reconfiguring shared-mimetype-info with dpkg-reconfigure * removing gnome-mime-database with deleting all configuration files and then reinstalling it (After each step I restarted my machine) None of these steps changed anything. I'm using Nautilus as file browser (for that reason I chosed this mailing list) and for managing my desktop icons. So my question is: Is there a way to reset _all_ application - file associations?
